Candidates set for 2018 Municipal Kampaign
KAMLOOPS — By now, they’ve all signed their names and submitted their papers. As of 4:00 pm Friday, the candidate list is set for the 2018 Municipal Election, set to take place October 20th.
“You’ve got to have a pretty thick skin to take part in politics at any level, but in local politics, you can get cornered every day,” retired Political Science Professor Ray Pillar explains. “It’s a bold move for anybody.”
The 2018 election campaign will see two vacant council seats around the table, as both Pat Wallace and Tina Lange chose not to seek re-election this time around. That’s a fact Lange thought might draw more names to the ballot.
